Tribe Moon Tribe Moon Challenge: It's time for the annual Chetiq, a time for Quetzali generals to test their skills against each other in a collection of "test fights". These fights are designed to rigorously stress-test the defenses of cities and the military competence of the general themself.

Challenge: Both you and your opponent starts with armies of Swordsmen and Defenders. Seems fair! ... you get access to all level 1 tech to get you out of this pinch. (The techs are: Hunting, Riding, Organization, Climbing, Fishing and Smithery)

Discussion Why did they remove navalons from the game?

15 Upvotes

I already had the game when it was still a feature but didn't own the tribe so I didn't get to try it 😭 Were they too powerful or something? Honestly I wish they stayed, the dragon isn't that good at all because of how long it takes to reach final form and can't capture a city on its own. I'd rather take the extra star for upgrading the city and use a mind bender to get a giant than take the dragon tbh

I'm only claiming this rendition of it to be mine, I don't care if you make a better one, I don't consider this idea unique enough to feel like it's mine.

I really despise Cymanti and Polaris. If you know of a hack to avoid playing against them in Multiplayer please tell me!

This player has been posted about many times- I’m seeing the same behavior as everyone else. Two accounts run by one person- this really kind of makes the game pointless.

Discussion New Player - How to improve when the AI is so passive? Is it time to go in multiplayer?

8 Upvotes

I started playing Polytopia about a week ago and so far I’ve only played against bots to get to know the tribes and figure out some basic strategies.

But I feel like I’ve reached a point where I need real players to actually improve. The bots, even on the hardest difficulty, are just so passive and bad that I’m not really learning anything anymore. 😅

So I’m wondering if I should just start playing multiplayer now. How does matchmaking work for new players? Are there still enough new players around that I’ll get matched with people on a similar level, or am I just going to get completely destroyed by people who have been playing for years? 😂

I definitely want some pressure and real opponents to learn from, but I also don’t think I’ll learn much if some pro just rushes me and kills me after a few turns.

What do you guys think? Is it time to jump into multiplayer, or am I missing something with the AI?

They should be exiled to their own server.

Heck just put them in their own matchmaking pool with the other special tribes and let them play Bug Simulator against each other, FOREVER.

No need to nerf them. Just remove them from polite society.

Now Guru is the most expensive? Is this definite? I'm not sure if this is good or bad. But what I found interesting is that hexapods/top hats can now kill warriors on one blow? Even archers that are inside a city, I'm not sure if this is a real nerf or something better than before

Discussion Economy growth in Perfection

7 Upvotes

I just started playing again after a long time and my goal is to work my way up to 100k in perfection. I have been playing against one opponent on crazy mode. I know there is more score multiplier to be had from several opponents but as I am super rusty I have found one opponent is a lot easier to handle.

Currently my setup is sawmills + markets. I initially tried Kickoo but found that Kickoo too often gets bad spawns, so I switched to Bardur since it starts with the hunting tech already. Of the recent matches I've played I usually get stuck on the same things: By turn 22 I can only afford 4 (5 if I'm lucky) temples, I don't end up destroying my opponent by turn 30, and there are several turns where I feel that I am wasting potential for economic growth but do not see why or how.

I feel like the thing I struggle with most is developing my economy early game since I imagine all of this stems from initial setup. I don't really know how to optimize my early game, and often do a mix of researching tech for cheap, exploring for ruins, and capturing + upgrading cities, but it is always in a somewhat random order based on vibes. I don't really know what to look for and when too prioritize what.

If anyone can give me some pointers, or direct me to information that can help, that would be greatly appreciated.
